Hi Guys,
My client wants to rank for the keyword "suburb + keyword" (Sydney + Futsal). (keyword changed for Privacy Reasons)
My client runs a futsal club in Sydney (futsal is another name for indoor soccer)
We dominate the keyword (Sydney Futsal) with 4+ organic listings on the 1st page of google and then my client received an email from an the owner of another futsal club in Sydney stating the following.
The other club has a registered business name but no trademark on the keywords Sydney Futsal.
Does anyone know if my client is in the wrong and should remove this??? The keyword Sydney Futsal is a registered business name but not a trademark.
To me this term "Sydney Futsal" seems to be very broad my client is not trying to act as if he were the other futsal club , its a seperate bussines which happens to be in the same suburb and are competing for the same junior futsal players
Does anyone have any insight on this?
Thanks : )

"Hi XXXX,
It has come to my attention that you are now advertising your business as Sydney Futsal.
Sydney Futsal is our registered business name, and has been since we started our football operations.
You have always been known as XXXen Goal, XXdale PCYC or XXXBay PiraXX. So why now the reference to "Sydney Futsal" ?
You have until 5pm tomorrow, the 16 October, 2013, to remove all reference to Sydney Futsal from your website and any other advertising or media, or we will begin legal action against you"
